  • Superstitions of men. Do we really live by these?

    Superstitions of men. Do we really live by these?
    Nov 2 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 31, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... When we are born of God and HIS Spirit lives in us we are very different from the way we were before God revealed Himself to us. We no longer follow pagan ideas. Now we have in us, through God, the Spirit of Truth. We cannot live in lies. * Does the eating of black eyed peas on New Year's Day bring you "luck"? * If you break a mirror do you really expect 7 years bad luck? * If you get in the crowd of single women at a wedding to try to catch the bride's bouquet, do you really believe that will cause you to become the next bride? * If you wear bananas on your head will your baseball team win? (This is really one of my personal favorites. I saw the Arkansas baseball fans do this at the College World's Series a few years ago. But they lost the game. At least they could eat the bananas, unless the bananas were plastic as some were.) We as Christians cannot live by worldly superstitions. Our "luck" (blessing) is from God, creator of heaven and earth who really has power. 1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane (secular sayings) and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • We admonish one another showing them the way of God as we live on this earth

    We admonish one another showing them the way of God as we live on this earth
    Nov 1 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 8, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Romans 15:14 Paul says: And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. admonish: to warn one another and to show the way of God ... to reprimand, to drive a person to turn back to the way of God. When we see a person going in the way of this world, contrary to the way of God, we tell that person of the way of God and we urge that person not to go in the way of this world, which causes destruction to themselves. Multiple times, I've witnessed Pam Padgett trying to turn both men and women to the Bible. She shows these people the scripture on the subject, giving them a chance to turn from the way they are about to go and conform themselves to the Word of God. I do this both to the church people and to the worldly people, for why would I want either to be destroyed in the way they are going. (When they repent and heed the scriptures they are saved from this world and its ways.) We conform ourselves to the image of Christ when we follow The Word and we give them an opportunity to do the same thing as we "admonish" them. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? (I Cor. 4:7)

    For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? (I Cor. 4:7)
    Oct 31 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 30, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... It is God who created each of us as HE wills. One differs from another as we fulfill the will of God and our purpose on this present earth. And we function as one body when we belong to God and have the Spirit of God. Paul tells us to stay in the place where we are called by God. Make your calling and election sure. We are God workman, created by God, to do HIS will. But some fill their lives by trying to copy other people instead of being created by God. And Jude calls them "mockers". Jude 17-20 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers (imitators) in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith ... As the body of Christ we have different purposes, different functions in the body. Know what you are! Serve in those gifts given you by God. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Deuteronomy 28: Blessings of God valid for NT church today

    Deuteronomy 28: Blessings of God valid for NT church today
    Oct 30 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 6, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Here are some of the blessings and promises of God that are valid for today's NT church: Deuteronomy 28 1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and HE shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as HE hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in HIS ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12 The LORD shall open unto thee HIS good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. And there are many more blessings of God valid from OT for today's church. ***** Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. *** Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD. *** Joshua 1 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. *** And there are many other OT promises valid today for those who love the Word of God and believe that which God says and lives by those Words in his life on this present earth. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Prayer

    Prayer
    Oct 29 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 10, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ***** (Comments by Joan Boney) I had a rather serious dental appointment scheduled on November 30, 2020. I did exactly what it says to do in Philippians 4:6 ... The appointment was scheduled about 2 months earlier. I knew there was a possibility of a root canal. Every time during those weeks approaching the appointment when I thought of the appointment, I prayed, asking God for help. I asked God to help the dentist in the decisions that she made, and that she not do more to me than needed. I asked God to keep me from being hurt. I even prayed that I not be afraid. I had asked God to help me to physically get ready for the appointment, to get my hair washed and get shower. (I'm 83 and this can be difficult.) On the Saturday before the appointment, all of a sudden I asked Pam if we could go get my hair cut that afternoon. This is one of those non-appointment shops we go to. But because of the rise in Coronavirus we had not been for about 3 months. There was no difficulty at all in getting into the shop. It was 2 days after the American holiday, Thanksgiving Day. The hair operator said they had been very busy but that day was "slow". I was so glad. I had asked God not to let either Pam or myself get Coronavirus. The day of the dental appointment, I was easily able to take shower. It took two hours for dentist to do the work on my tooth. I felt no pain at all, neither during the procedure nor after. Dentist said she decided to remove the crown and drill out the decay and not do a root canal. She said, "Let's try this first." I thanked God for answering each part of my prayer. And I was "careful for nothing" because I had prayed according to Philippians 4:6. It is so important for each of us to live a "carefree" life through God day by day, second by second. I had even prayed if there was any reason I should cancel that appointment that God would show me. But no reason manifest itself so I went on to the appointment. Even after all the dental work was done, there was not one second of pain or discomfort. "Let your requests be made known unto God." 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Before Jesus returns, the powers of heaven will be shaken by God

    Before Jesus returns, the powers of heaven will be shaken by God
    Oct 28 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 18, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Dream from God: The earth slipped on its axis. People were terrified. The governments of men and the scientists and religious leaders were meeting to see what could be done about this. Nothing could be done for this was from God. A newscaster was giving a report of this on TV. He was so frightened that he stopped speaking in the middle of his report and got up and walked out of the studio. The prophet Isaiah spoke of what would happen at the end of time. Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger. This is exactly what I saw in the dream God gave me sometime in the mid-1980's. Jesus also spoke of this in Matthew 24:29-31. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. ***** We read, starting in Revelation Chapter 8, of the great tribulation that comes from God at the end of this world. Notice the 4th plague in the following: Revelation 8 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. With the first 3 plagues, notice how they involved a third part of the earth. Recently this was called to my attention. These 3 plagues might happen in different parts of this world. Until verse 12 happens, it might not even be realized that the great tribulation had begun. 12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. When verse 12 happens, everyone, all people of this earth, will know "something" has happened to all this world. 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! There are 14 total plagues before the end of this world when God destroys this present heaven and earth by fire. But after the 4th plague when the sun goes dark for 1/3 of the normal day, and the moon and stars fail to shine for 1/3 part of the day, everyone will know the great tribulation from God has begun. *** Man fails to repent. Revelation 9 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Even today, we see ministers who will not repent of those things they speak wrongly, making things up concerning the Bible. They even admit when confronted that the Bible does not say that which they said, but they have no sorrow for the way they made things up. And they will not repent over that which they have done. And their congregations know things are wrong but they stay in their church groups regardless. 2 Thessalonians 2 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that...

    Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 15:13)
    Oct 27 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 7, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... When we believe the Word of God we are filled with joy and peace and hope. There are thousands upon thousands of great promises of God for us in the Bible. 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. When the Holy Spirit of God reminds us of one of these promises of God in the situation of this present life, we can focus on that promise and live above the troubles of this world because we know the God who created this world is far greater than this world. We hope in God! The church is built upon that Word which God reveals to us in the problems of this life. We stand upon "that word", the word that comes to us from God by HIS Spirit. Therein is power. ***** We have great joy and peace and hope for we believe Jesus will return and gather the church. Jesus will raise the dead in Christ and Jesus will remove those who are still living who are of God from this present earth. How do we know these things? The Bible tells us this. I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. *** We will all be changed into our new spiritual bodies: I Corinthians 15 The apostle Paul says: 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. *** Then we will be taken to the new heaven and the new earth which is prepared by God for all who are righteous. Revelation 21 The apostle John says: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. *** There will be no unrighteous in that new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem. Revelation 22 Jesus says: 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. *** In the end, God will destroy this present heaven and earth by fire. II Peter 3 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth ...

  • Peter says, In the last days there will be false teachers in the churches and they will come making merchandise of you

    Peter says, In the last days there will be false teachers in the churches and they will come making merchandise of you
    Oct 26 2025
    (This podcast was previously recorded and published on November 26, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... II Peter 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. Concerning the last days, Jesus warns: Matthew 24:3-5 And as HE (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. They come to us saying they are pastors or other ministers of Jesus. Others come saying they are Christians and they say "Jesus is Lord". And because they say Jesus is the Christ, we will listen to them and they will deceive many. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
